Shenandoah (23-8) scored in every inning but the fifth in finishing off the season sweep of the Royals (10-20).

Leading 6-0 after scoring three runs in the first, two in the second and one in the third, SU found itself trailing 8-6 heading into its half of the fourth after EMU scored eight runs (all with two outs) against three different Shenandoah pitchers in the top of the frame.

Senior Kyle Gladu got the first two outs of the inning on just two pitches before pitcher/designated hitter Beau Banglesdorf doubled to right.

Banglesdorf's two-bagger would be the first of four consecutive hits for the Royals and started a rally that saw EMU score eight runs on six hits and four walks.

Junior Brent Bertschinger, making his first-ever appearance for the Hornets, finally stopped the bleeding by getting Dylan Smith, the 13th hitter of the frame, to line out to right.

Eastern Mennonite would extend its advantage to 11-7 by the middle of the sixth.

Shenandoah clawed back with three runs in the sixth, outlasted a 30-minute rain delay, and finally took the lead for good with a six-run seventh.
